"What is Multi-Level marketing?"

Here's My Reply:
Hello There,

First I'd like to thank you for asking the question, "What is Multi-Level Marketing". I am very passionate about the business model and Industry of Network Marketing attached to it.

Simply put multi-level marketing allows a sales person to leverage their time and efforts by training other sales people and is therefore compensated for their entire team's production.

Like if you were to train a sales force to sell your photos, and you only compensated them a commission to sell the items/service AND then again another commission when a sales person they train sells the items/services as well.

Once the compensation for the sales are on more than 2 "generational levels" it's considered Multi-level Marketing.

It like your parents getting paid by your employer for raising a good kid, then you get paid a part of your kids salaries (but your parents get a piece too cuz you were trained by them). Then it goes like that for generations of salaries...

Not bad when you look at it that way, huh? LOLOL we would raise better kids, I think, if everything was set up that way!

What do you think?

Sincerely,

Malika Duke
